. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 


Prices are subject to change without notice. 

Terms are net cash, 80 days from date of shipment, unless otherwise 
specified. 

Where we erect either tanks or towers, final payment is due upon com- 
pletion of the work. 

_ If customers do the erecting, we require payment to be made in the 
time agreed upon, whether the erection has been completed or not. 

Our responsibility for delivery ceases when we secure a signed bill of 
lading from the Transportation Company for goods received in good order. 

Customers must look to the R. R. Co. for any loss due to delay in de- 
livery or damage sustained in transit. We are always glad to file claims 
for them when desired. 

Claims must be made within 15 days after receipt of the goods. 

If goods are not as ordered, or will not go together properly, customer 
must notify us and we will promptly ship correct parts or authorize him to 
have trouble corrected. . 

No claims for repairs of any kind, or for the replacing of materials, 
will be allowed unless we authorize same, : 

All Galvanized Steel Tanks that we ship set up, are carefully tested to 
see that they are .water-tight before being shipped, and purchasers are 
cautioned to examine such tanks thoroughly before accepting them from 
the Railway Company, as we cannot allow any charges for resoldering 
them, or repairing of any other kind. 

Wood Tanks are shipped knocked down and well crated; when re- 
quested, we send suggestions explaining how erection should be done. 

Receiving a tank or tower and setting it up, constitutes an acceptance 
of it. 

We cannot accept the return of any goods, as all tanks, towers, etc., are — 
made up especially for each order. 

When goods are ordered without details being specified, we will furnish 
what we think is suitable, and at our regular prevailing prices.

STANDARD ROUND WOOD TANKS 
See Prices on Pages 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 


In olden days wood tanks were made 
by hand now a very costly process. The 
service they gave depended largely on the 
knowledge, skill and care of the men who 
made them. Today, with modern manu- 
facturing methods, it is still the “knowing 
how” the skill and the care used that 
determine whether you get a real tank or 
a wooden sieve. For over thirty years we 
have been applying these three factors 
in the selection of materials, design, 
construction and workmanship of our 
tanks. It is for this reason that a Caldwell 
tank is known everywhere as “‘The Tank 
with a reputation.’”® 


A round tank should always be used, 
wherever possible, in preference to other 
shapes. Its construction and bracing is 
much simpler and therefore it costs much 
less to make and erect. Also a wooden 
tank has certain advantages over other kinds. Wood costs less and requires less 
care than steel or other materials. It is used for a great many chemicals where 
metals would be unsuitable, and will last longer than steel for use with the corrosive 
water in certain localities. It will also give better protection from freezing and heat. 


SIZES 


We can make any size of tank you want, but, as a matter of economy, it is best 
to select from the sizes that are cut from standard lengths of lumber. The sizes 
which are most in demand are listed on pages 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, and the standard 
sizes are printed in heavy type. 


KIND OF woop 


We have tried out a great many kinds of wood in tanks and have discarded all 
but Cypress, Fir, Long Leaf Yellow Pine and Poplar, as they are the best available 
woods and suit nearly all purposes. While these are the woods we regularly use 
in the manufacture of our tanks, we can, however, furnish other kinds when wanted 
The kind of wood should be selected to fit the purpose for which it is to be used and 
below we give the properties of each kind but will be glad to have our Research 
Department recommend the kind best suited for your particular purpose. 


CYPRESS—Our specialty is Cypress and we were the first to use it, to any 
extent, in tanks. Our own experience and the records of railroad tanks show that 
woods which last well in their native climate do not always do well in other parts 
of the country. This is particularly true of Redwood and White Pine, while 
Cypress seems to be the wood least affected by adverse climates. It is easily 
the best general wood for tanks on account of it’s great durability. It is the best 
fer water, either hot or cold, as it does not swell or shrink as much as other woods. 
It resists the action of alkalis, many acids, and other chemicals better than other 
woods, and is therefore largely used in chemical and allied trades. Cypress gives 
off no color, taste or odor and on this account is especially suited for holding drink- 
ing water, cider, vinegar, fruit syrups, or other food products.

STANDARD ROUND WOOD TANKS—Continued 


FIR—Fir is coming into use as a substitute for cypress on account of it’s lower 
cost and because it has, in lesser degree, many of the qualities of Cypress. This 
is true both with water and with chemicals. Fir, as well as Cypress, is accepted 
by the fire insurance bureaus for use in sprinkler tanks. 

YELLOW PINE—Long Leaf Yellow Pine is used chiefly in industrial tanks 
of large size, which require greater thicknesses of material, such as paper mill tanks. 
It is also used for holding certain acids.and chemicals, particularly sulphuric acid, 
and is often substituted for more expensive tank woods in water tanks, where a 
cheaper tank is wanted. 

POPLAR—The chief use of poplar is for holding the alcohols on account of the 
dense grain of this wood, but for other purposes it is not as good as other woods. 


CONSTRUCTION 


The bottom pieces are dressed, ripped, 
machine jointed and well doweled. The 
edges are chamfered for the croze or groove 
in the staves but left a little thicker to allow 
for possible shrinkage before erecting. A 
thin shaving must be taken off with a hand- 
plane in erecting to make a driving fit with 
the croze in the staves. The staves are 
dressed, ripped, and machine jointed and 
croze or groove cut to suit the circle of the 
bottom and the taper of the tank. (See cut 
of detail below). 


The hoops, usually round, are wrought 
iron instead of steel so they will not rust as 
easily. The proper number and size are care- 
fully calculated to give ample strength with 
a factor of safety of four to one. They are cut to the exact lengths necessary to 
suit the taper of the tank and are bent to the proper circle. The threads are machine 
cut, not rolled on, while the connecting lugs are of malleable instead of cast iron. 
The necessary nuts are furnished.

STANDARD ROUND WOOD TANKS-—Continued 
MARKING 


The bottom pieces of all tanks are marked and numbered, as are the hoops, 
but the staves are not, as they will go in anywhere they are placed, it only being 
necessary to fit the last stave. (See cut page 3). We always send a few inches 
extra in width so this can be done. A Blue Print plan is supplied showing how to 
space the hoops so that each will bear the strain it is calculated for and no more. 


METHOD OF CRATING 


Particular attention is paid 
to the crating of our Tanks, as 
shown in illustration, and to 
having all crates and _ pieces 
plainly stenciled with the name 
and destination, so that we 
have a minimum of complaints 
of broken crates or lost pieces, 
although a large percentage of 
our shipments is to points in New England, Canada and West of the Mississippi. 


ERECTION 


Be sure the foundation is strong and rigid enough for the load and will support 
the bottom only. The staves must have at least one half inch clearance on all sides. 


Lay bottom according to marks and drive tightly together so joints are good 
the full length. Dress a thin shaving off the top edge of bottom to make a driving 
fit with the croze in staves. (See cut page 3). 


Drive staves close onto bottom and up tight against each other edgewise taking 
care not to jar loose other staves. Make no allowance for swelling and see that 
joints in staves do not come in line with joints in the bottom. Fit the last stave 
exactly into the space left. By selecting the last four or five staves the last stave 
will need little fitting. 


A rope thrown around the top and twisted up tight will hold the tank while 
putting on the hoops. Mark the spacing of the hoops from the blueprint on four 
or five staves around the tank. Start at the bottom and place hoops according to 
the marking, using staples or small nails to hold them. The lugs should be placed 
spirally around the tank. When all are set, draw up tight using only an 8 inch 
wrench for 54 inch hoops, 10 inch for 34 inch hoops or 15 inch for % or 1 inch hoops. 
After hoops are on bring staves to an even surface by pounding on a wood block 
held against the staves. 


The tank should be filled as soon as possible after it is completed. It often 
takes several days after tank is filled before all joints swell tight. 


Paint tank two coats on outside only, using good lead and‘oil paint. Paint 
hoops one coat before erection. 


CAUTION—Never put any caulking, paint or foreign substance in the joints 
and do not paint the tank on the inside.

Capacity in gallons, not in barrels; or state inside diameter and inside 
depth, or outside height, thickness and kind of lumber and intended 
purpose; also if a Cover (P. 18), Gauge (P.19), Tower (P. 27-37), or other 
articles, are wanted. 


All Tanks are regularly built with a taper of one inch to the foot. 


Are based on straight staves, viz., Tanks without any taper. The 
capacity of tanks as regularly furnished is therefore somewhat less 
than the listed capacities. 


Are given for inside measurements for both diameter and depth; for 
outside length of stave add for 1% inch lumber 4% inches; 2 inch, 
5 inches; 2% inch, 5% inches and for 3 inch, 6 inches. This allows 
us 2 inches for squaring up the ends of the lumber, viz., 12 foot lum- 
ber will be finished up 11 feet 10 inches long, etc. 


Tanks listed are the standard sizes that cut to best advantage from 
standard lengths of lumber, which comes in lengths of even feet. We 
can supply tanks of any other sizes that may be required. 


Is Cypress, Fir, Long Leaf Yellow Pine and Poplar. We can furnish other 
kinds if required. 


See Pages 2 and 3. 


Cypress is furnished in 1, 2, 214, 3 and 4 inch; Fir in 2, 214, 3 and 4 inch; 
Poplar, in 2 inch only and in sizes not over 16 feet diameter or 15 
feet 5 inches deep; Yellow Pine, in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 inch. 


Cypress and Fir, 2 inch for tanks not over 14 feet 0 inch diameter 
and 13 feet 5 inches deep (although 1% inches may be used ‘for 
tanks under 8 feet 0 inch diameter by 7 feet 5 inches deep); 24% inch 
for tanks 16 to 20 feet diameter inclusive and 3 inch for larger sizes, 
2% inch may be used for staves with 3 inch bottoms up to 24 feet 
diameter by 19 feet 4 inches deep. 

Note.—The above is for ordinary purposes. Thicknesses must be in- 
creased for special purposes and for some uses 4 inch Cypress is re- 
quired of which we carry a large stock. 

Long Leaf Yellow Pine. Same as for Cypress except for chemical 
tanks which are usually 4, 6 and sometimes 8 inches thick. 

Poplar. Same as for Cypress except that this wood is not used in any other 
thickness than 2 inch. 


Discounts and freight rates will be quoted on application; or we wil 
name net delivered prices if size of tank is given. 


Round hoops with lugs are standard and are furnished unless other- 
wise specified. Round hoop sections are not over 20 to 22 feet long 
and one lug is furnished for each section. 


These hoops and lugs either round or flat can be furnished galvan- 
ized at a slight additional cost. 


Are the same for Cypress, Fir, White Pine, White Cedar and Poplar. 
Long Leaf. Yellow Pine weighs about 40 per cent more than Cypress. 


Tanks are never put together at the factory, but are got out from 
standard templets and shipped knocked down, and well crated. 
Enough staves are sent to allow for dressing off and fitting in the last 
one. Hoops are cut to lengths and a plan supplied showing how to 
space them. See Page 4. 


We will quote prices erected where desired—state how high above 
ground tank will go and whether on trestle or a building. 


We can furnish customer plans for building foundations for tank to 
suit any conditions. Standard plans for tank foundations on the 
ground furnished without extra cost. | 


Prices for Plain Round Tanks are listed on Pages 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Prices 
a other styles illustrated or any other kind wanted, will be quoted on appli- 
cation.

RECTANGULAR WOODEN TANKS 


Built with or 
without Partitions 


In the construction of Rectangular Tanks, a greater amount of mechanical 
knowledge and experience is necessary than in Round Tanks and there is no standard 
practice that is readily accessible to the uninformed, as with Round Tanks, so 
that besides ourselves, there are practically only one or two other concerns that 
attempt to build this kind of a tank. 

We can furnish this style of tank with or without partitions, false bottoms, 
etc., or with lead, copper or other lining when required. We can furnish brass, 
copper, bronze, galvanized, lead covered or Monel Metal rods instead of iron and, 
when required, we counter-sink the nuts on top and cover with a hardwood coping. 


SIZES 


There are so many possible sizes of rectangular tanks that we do’not attempt 
to list them and will quote, on application, prices for any size you wish. Standard 
lengths of lumber are in even feet and will make rectangular tanks of about one 
foot less length, so for economy, the odd feet or slightly less should be selected for 
the length of the tank and the other dimensions to give the required capacity. 


KIND OF WOOD 
For the kind of wood to use see page 2 under Round Wood Tanks.

CONSTRUCTION 
We have been building this style of tank for a great many years and were the 


first to adopt a standard method of construction which we have reason to believe, 
from long experience, is about the best possible method. 


The bottom is crozed (or grooved) to receive the sides and ends and the sides 
are crozed to receive the ends. This gives a water tight wedged joint even without 
the pressure of the rods which are used to draw all parts tightly together. 


The rodding is thorough and the sizes and spacings are carefully figured out 
by our engineering department to give a full factor of safety of 4 to 1 with the liquid 
used so that no bursting is possible. 


When the length exceeds certain proportions the sides are braced against 
bulging. The simplest and best method is by rods through the center of the tank 
and is used where their presence is not an objection; otherwise, by battens in the 
center with a rod passing over the top and another through the bottom of the tank. 
Another method is to truss the sides on the outside by iron rods, or by a wood truss 
if the iron is objectionable. See illustrations on this and previous page. 


SHIPPING AND ERECTION 


In shipping Rectangular 
Tanks the sides, ends, and 
bottoms are each put together 
and shipped in one sec- 
tion. All holes for rods are 
bored and rods put in place 
with blocks on the ends of the 
thickness of the part they 
have to pass through. 
Customer in receiving Tank 
has only to take off blocks 
and nuts and after dressing 
off a thin shaving on side Cut Showing How Rectangular Tanks Are 
and ends, which takes only Manufactured Ready to Go Together 
a few minutes, let them down ; 
into the groove in the bottom, place the battens in position, put the washers and 
nuts back in place, and then draw the rods up. The sides aid ends are left the 
least bit thicker than the groove in bottom to allow for shrinkage in transit, and 
to permit of an exact fit in erecting.

TANNERS’ TANKS 


While the Tanning Trade uses a great variety of tanks, including Lime Vats, 
Leach Tubs, Paddle Wheels, Drums, etc., we illustrate only the two latter types, 
as they represent what is special work in this line, the others being plain round 
or rectangular tanks. 

Tanners were among the first to discover the superiority of Cypress for tank 
work, and we can refer to many that have had Cypress tanks in use for fifteen to 
twenty years, which are still in good condition. 

The Drum illustrated does not represent the only type we build, but the one 
principally used. We can furnish any other style wanted, and we construct these 
with.or without doors, shelves and pins. As we have extensive foundry and machine- 
shop facilities, we are well prepared to supply anything in the way of gudgeons or 
bearings, and also gearing or sprockets or pulley to drive them, together with the 
necessary belting, link-belt, shafting, etc. 

Ask for prices and references.

Our agitators are thoroughly and sub- 
stantially made and are designed for 
mixing, stirring and holding in suspen- 
sion all sorts of solutions and mixtures 
~ including dense and plastic materials. 

The standard sizes have dimensions of the 
machinery and other parts proportioned to 
the diameters and depths of tanks they are 
used in, assuring the proper strength for all 
ordinary purposes. For heavy service we 
make special designs to suit. 

We make these agitators to fit wood or steel 
tanks. 

Our standard design consists of steel 
shafts and winged stirrer arms, heavy cast 
iron gears, step and toe bearings, anchors and 
bolts with longleaf yellow pine millwright — 
timbers across the top of the tank; all framed 
and finished with all holes bored and bearings 
set all ready to attach to the tank which any 
ordinary workman can do even without the 
blueprints we furnish. 

Where the substance to be stirred will 
injure the ironwork, or be injured by it, we 
make the vertical shaft and winged stirrer 
arms of wood and the step and toe bearing, 
bolts, nuts and washers of brass, bronze, 
duiron or other acid resisting metal. 

The standard drive is by tight and loose 
pulleys which we furnish in standard 
sizes unless otherwise specified. 

Sprockets or gears may be used or 
the Caldwell Friction Clutch attached 
to a single pulley for easy starting and 

stopping. This clutch is simple in construc- 
tion, having only one adjustment, and is 
especially suitable for this purpose. 

The speed of the agitators should never 
exceed 1,000 feet per minute at the ends of 


Pureva 


saatINng 


the stirring arms but in most cases about one half this speed is ample. 

We manufacture all parts of our agitators in our own fully equipped machine, 
millwright, structural and plate shops, iron and brass foundries. 

We manufacture also a complete line of power transmission machinery including 
shafting, gearing, pulleys, bearings, hangers, etc., and the Caldwell Friction Clutch. 
Write for our Friction Clutch and Power Transmission Catalogs. 


CALDWELL FRICTION CLUTCHES 


We have been manufacturing this clutch 
for a number of years and believe it excels 
any other on the market. It is made in capac- 
ities from 1 to 240 horse power. 

Its notable features are its simplicity, 
strength, ease and perfection of adjustment 
and freedom from breakage. 

The basic principle is identical with that 
of the standard automobile service brake; a 
flexible band lined with asbestos and tight- 
ened with a single lever. In practice it has 
given equal service with that much used and 
abused device. 

There are only eleven parts. 

There is only one adjustment. One screw 


shortens or lengthens the band which gives equal pressure everywhere around 
the entire circumference of the friction band.

TANK FOUNDATIONS 
On the Ground or on Buildings 


The importance of adequate and properly designed foundations is not fully 
appreciated by most people. | Poor foundations cause a great many tanks to leak. 

There are three cardinal principles to be observed in designing foundations. 

Ist. The weight must be supported from the bottom only. The staves of 
wooden tanks must not carry any of the load and where the tank is to rest on a level 
surface it is best to use dunnage or sub-joists as listed below which will support the 
bottom and raise the ends of the staves free. 

2nd. The supporting pieces under the bottom must not be spaced over eighteen 
inches apart or preferably less and the bottom boards of wood tanks must run across 
the dunnage or joist supporting them. 

8rd. The foundations must extend below the frost line when on the ground. 

Realizing to what an extent the success of a tank depends on its foundation, we 
have made a careful study of tank foundations and have developed a series of standard 
designs which are not only of the proper strength but which contain the least amount 
of material that will develop this strength. ‘The material has been put in the shape 
and place where it will do the most good. 

We will furnish, when desired, a detail plan of foundations on the ground for 
the standard tanks we sell without extra cost and you can furnish your own mate- 
rials or we can furnish the necessary wood joist and bridging cut to the proper 
lengths and ship them with the tank. See prices on the opposite page. 

The placing of a tank on a building is a dangerous proceeding unless certain 
precautions are taken. If the building has not been especially designed to carry a 
tank, it should be examined and passed on for strength of walls, etc., by some reliable 
engineer or architect before attempting to put a tank on it. Any new brick work 
required should be set in cement mortar. The foundation itself is very important 
and should be designed only by some competent engineer familiar with iank work, 
as we find the average architect or engineer has not had the experience required, nor 
given the subject the close thought it deserves. 

The design of tank supports has problems not usually found in other branches 
of engineering. 

Weare frequently asked to quote on designs of others and in most cases we either 
find some part of the structure too weak or, if of ample strength, the material was 
not placed economically. In a recent case our design cost less than one-half of that 
of the architect and was of equal strength. 

Only round hoops should be used with a wood tank on a building. 

Prices on application.

RECTANGULAR STEEL TANKS 


We build these tanks in any size or thickness wanted but recommend that they 
be built of heavier material than would be used for the same capacity round tanks. 

They are thoroughly braced by angles and tie bars or rods when required so that, 
when filled, the sides will not bulge outward. 

We supply these Rectangular Steel Tanks thoroughly knocked down, well finished 
and punched for rivets, with rivets to put them together. All pieces are plainly 
marked and we furnish blue prints showing how tanks go together.

STANDARD TOWERS 


We illustrate on the following pages three distinct types of Steel Towers— 
Tubular Column, Angle Column and Latticed Column. 

Each Tower is plainly illustrated and described so that its construction can 
easily be understood. All of them are of thoroughly reliable design and the dif- 
ference between them is largely one of personal preference. 

These Towers are all designed for tanks of certain sizes, which are herewith 

ven. 
a In asking for prices, state the kind of tank (woed or steel), capacity 
in gallons, the kind of Tower and the height and what Insurance 
Requirements are to be complied with, if any; also whether we shall 
include the Riser Piping and Frost Boxing for Riser Pipes and Erection 
in our estimate.

30,000 Gallon Cypress Tank 


This is the heaviest and strongest tower built for 
flat bottom tanks. It is recommended where a 
first class riveted structure is wanted. It is made 
in multiples of 10 feet in height or any height 
desired and in capacities of 15.900 gallons and 
larger. For smaller capacities we recommend our 
Angle Oolumn Tower. 

This tower conforms with the best engineering 
practice and is practically identical with our 
Hemispherical Bottom Tower and is the only one 
on the market,.for flat bottom tanks, using the 
same construction as is 
used in the highest class 
of structural steel work 
such as Railroad Bridges, 
Skyscrapers, etc. 

The columns: are com- 
posed of two. channels 
thoroughly laced and riv- 
eted together and the 
struts of laced angles or 
channels. The rods have 
turnbuckles for adjust- 
ment with enlarged ends 
at the threads and con- 
nected to the columns by 
pins and clevises. This 
column has 6 to 7 rivets 
to the foot instead of 1 or 
2 as in most other con- 
structions. Strut and col- 
umn connections are made 
with heavy gusset plates 
thoroughly riveted. 

A heavy I-Beam gril- 
lage at the top of the 
tower supports the tank, 

We usually furnish this 
tower with long leaf 
yellow pine timber foun- 
dation at top of tower 
when used with wood 
tanks though we _ rec- 
commend the steel I-beam 
foundation which is al- 
ways used with steel 
tanks. 

When desired we fur- 
nish the iron-work alone 
for these towers with a 
detailed plan and bill of 
material by which the 
customer may himself 
supply the timbers that 
form a support for the 
tank at top of tower. 


We build these Towers acceptable to 
any and all Insurance Companies. In 
asking for prices state what Insurance 
Requirements, if any, the outfit must 
comply with; the Kind of Tank 
(wood or steel); Capacity in gallons; 
Height of Tower and if we are to 
include Riser Piping and Frost 
Boxing for Riser Pipes and Erec-

PRICES OF FACTORY MUTUAL LATTICED 
COLUMN STEEL TOWERS 


For Insurance Requiremenis 


We thoroughly understand the requirements of the Associated Factory Mutual 
Fire Insurance Companies, and take particular pains to follow the spirit as well 
as the mere letter of their specifications. 

We are listed in their approved list and -have authority to use their special 
label or mark. This means that our design, our factory, and our finished work 
have been thoroughly inspected and approved by them. 

Their specifications and inspections are much more rigid and searching than 
under other insurance regulations and in the ordinary commercial job. It is, 
therefore, very important thatthe purchaser make sure that the builder of the 
tower knows how to, can, and will follow these specifications in every respect. 
It will save him considerable worry and delay.

ANGLE COLUMN TOWERS 


Where customers prefer a 
Tower with riveted or bolted 
sections, we supply the An- 
gle Column Tower herewith 
illustrated for Tanks of 
15,000 to 22,000 gallons 
capacity and less, and our 
Latticed Column Tower il- 
lustrated on pages 30 and 
31, for larger sizes. 


Unless otherwise  speci- 
fied, we furnish the Towers 
with bolted sections, 


These Towers are alto- 
gether unlike the _ light, 
flimsy and fragile structures 
usually furnished under 
this name; they have enough 
weight of metal and bulk: of 
material to satisfy the eye 
that their strength is ade- 
quate, ‘In other words, they 
look: heavy and strong, and { 
an ‘examination of the de- 
sign and construction ac- 
cording to engineering 
standards, will make this 
assurance doubly sure. 
They not only have a suf- 
ficient factor of safety or re- 
serve strength to meet any 
excessive demands upon 
them when they are compar- 
atively new, but sufficient to 
do so after corrosion has 
taken place year after year, 
and anything less than this 
means a structure of defec- 
tive design and inadequate 
strength. 


As this heavy construc- 
tion allows for corrosion, it 
is not necessary to galvanize 
these towers. 


We build these Towers in 
multiple heights of ten feet, 
and for tanks of 1,000 gal- 
lons capacity and up. 


They are furnished with 
either a timber or steel 
I-Beam foundation for the 
support of the tank. This is 
provided with an extension 
and walkway with handrail- 
ing. All Towers have lad- 
ders extending to within ten 
feet of the ground, 


These Towers are acceptable to 
any and all Insurance Companies. 
In asking for prices state what In- 
surance Requirements, if any, the 
outfit must comply with; the kind 
of Tank (wood or steel), Capacity 
in gallons; Height of Tower and if 
we are to include Riser Piping and 
Frost Boxing for Riser Pipes and 
Erection in our estimate,

PATENTED SECTIONAL TUBULAR COLUMN STEEL 
TOWER | 


This Tower is built with 4 columns. It is 
constructed for Tanks from 1,000 to 40,000 
gallons. 

The columns of these Towers are cut off 
square at the ends and these faced in a lathe 
to insure a true bearing against the internal 
flange in the heavy socket castings that make 
the joint connections, this flange also being 
faced off. These sockets are made on the 
proper angle to suit the batter of the Tower, 
and have a boss that is tapped to receive the 
extra long threaded ends of the round steel 
rods that are used for sway bracing. These 
rods are provided with drop forged turn- 
buckles to secure proper tension. 

The Tower is the simplest in design of any 
on the market, and the easiest to erect as the 
use of socket connections does away with all 
riveting and makes it unnecessary: to use 
skilled labor in putting it up. Any ordinary 
mechanic can erect the structure with com- 
mon labor. 

Practically no scaffolding is required as 
the sections are short and each is just like the 
others, and one section can be used from 
which to erect the next. A ginpole with 
ropes and blocks and wrenches are all the 
tools required. 

This Tower has been on the market for 20 
years and is in use in every state and terri- 
tory in this country, and in Canada, Mexico, W. 
the West Indies, Central and South Ameri¢a s 
as well. It is endorsed and recommended by 
leading Architects and Engineers everywhere. 

On account of its round columns, this tower 
offers less resistance to the wind than any 
other, sheds water easier and holds paint bet- 
ter, and it is the most graceful and handsome 
tower on the market. The stability of these 
towers is attested by the fact that many have 
passed through the fiercest tropical storms, 
and even cyclones, without being budged a 
particle, and numerous letters to this effect are 
printed in our Testimonial Booklet which will 
be sent to any address on application. 

Let us send you our Handsome Embossed 
View Book with illustrations of about sixty 
of these structures furnished representative 
concerns and institutions. 


30,000 Gallon Cypress Tank. 
63 Foot Tubular Column Steel Tower. 
See Price List on Page 35. 


When desired, we furnish the iron work alone for these Towers with a detailed plan 
and bill material by which the customer may himself supply the timbers that form a support 
for the tank at top of Tower. Pra i ye 

In asking for prices state the kind of Tank (wood or steel), capacity in gallons, height 
of tower, and if we are to include the Riser Piping and Frost Boxing for Riser Pipe and 
Erection in our Estimate. ~

STANDARD DRIVEWAY 


A driveway through any of our standard towers can 
be arranged by the special bracing illustrated at a small 
additional cost. In our Latticed Column Tower there is 
usually sufficient clearance for;a driveway without any 
change. This design is very simple b=t structurally correct. 

Tell us whether the driveway goes straight through 
or turns under the tower and also the clearance required: 
that is, the height above the grade line and the width at 
this height.

ALL WOOD TOWERS 


This tower is a well framed structure, mortised and tenoned, built of dressed All 
Heart Long Leaf Yellow Pine with well made joints so formed that water will not collect 
in them. It is thoroughly tied together with heavy iron tie rods and cast iron washers 
and heavy cast eap plates at top of columns, : 

We will furnish this tower complete, or the ironwork only, or will furnish complete 
plans, specifications and bills of material at a nominal price. 

Prices on application. 


COMBINED WOOD AND IRON TOWERS 


This tower was designed to overcome the objectionable features of an all wood tower 
and to increase the life of the wood columns and struts. It eliminates all mortises and 
tenons and brace seats which reduce the original strength of the structure and make 
places for moisture to soak in and cause the timber to rot out in a short time. 

If kept well painted this tower will outlast any all wood tower at least 50 per cent. 

We will furnish this tower complete or the ironwork only.

CALDWELL TANK HEATERS 


The use of a Tank 
Heater is by far the 
best method of sup- 
plying heat to a wood 
or steel tank to pre- 
vent freezing. 


They are intended 
to be used with ten 
pounds. steam pres- 
sure, but in cases 
where steam is not 
available a hot water 

S heater burning coal 
ali or gas can be used in 
connection with a larger size tank heater. 

The brass steam coil inside heats the water which rises through the heater pipe 
into the tank and is replaced by cold water from the riser pipe. This circulation 
prevents the riser from freezing. 

The Tank Heater is usually set in a pit under the tower or in the top floor when 
the tank rests on a building and is hung on the riser pipe.
